Should there be a line between citizenship and faith? What can—and should—Christians do when ungodliness and wickedness grow around them? Pastor Allen discussed these topics and more on a recent episode of The Eric Metaxas Show.
Pastor Allen discussed his latest book, Let’s Pray for America: 30 Prayers for Our Nation’s Future. “The fundamentals of the challenges we’re facing are spiritual,” he told Metaxas. “We need to engage with prayers more than with complaints.”
Citing the examples of the many biblical heroes who confronted bad behavior even when it was difficult, Pastor Allen said Christians need a bolder response. "The goal isn't to be kind to wickedness,” he said. “We need a more assertive response through prayer and engaging our culture.” He challenged those who say faith and culture should be kept separate. “If you take away the conversations in our Bible that deal with culture, there’s no Bible left.”
